Trivia:

As with the original series, the Visitor's alien text is just a substitution cipher for the alphabet, but written top to bottom then left to right, often breaking words into multiple columns. Many letters have a counterpart rotated 180 degrees, while the glyph for the letter H is already 180-degree symmetric.See more »

Before Alien Nation, before Independence Day, there was V. A race of
human looking extraterrestrials arrive on earth. These 'vistors' led by
alien Anna come in peace, however, behind her smile is a sinister plan
to take over the world.

The latest 'reimagining' of V is a competent rework of the original
80's TV show. Despite some ropey CGI effects, the story, characters and
script carry some weight, there are shades of grey, not everything is
black and white... Unorthodox alliances, double crossings, morale
choices and sacrifice are just some of the themes amongst a cloak and
dagger alien invasion. There is action, drama and of course it's played
possibly as realistic as you can get considering it a show about lizard
aliens. There are hard hitting surprises but the majority of the series
falls in to predicable melodrama.

Jane Badler the original female protagonist appears in season 2 as
'Diana' which is a nice nod for fans of the predecessor albeit as a
different character with the same name. And also Marc Singer gives a
cameo. Notable are actors Scott Wolf and Laura Vandervoort. Worth
mentioning is Anna's right hand man played by Morena Baccarin and tough
guy Kyle Hobbes played by Charles Mesure.

Evil executives at ABC have cancelled the series after season/series 2
which is a crying shame as there were plenty of places V could have
been taken with the right story writers and good characters already
established such as FBI agent Erica Evans, played by Elizabeth Mitchell
and Joel Gretsch as Father Jack Landry.

It's said that it ends on a cliff hanger but that depends on who's side
your on, there is one winner, if no more are made... Worth seeing, I'll
now finish this sentence as abruptly as ABC's cancellation.
